A bill introduced this week would modify the standard for determining when the sales and use tax applies to business-related electronic services that are provided together with other nontaxable services.

House Bill 569 is sponsored by Reps. Scott Lipps, R-Franklin, Rep. William Reineke, R-Tiffin. In announcing the bill, the legislators said it was in response to the Ohio Department of Taxation’s interpretation that the state sales/use tax can be applied to certain electronic information services and automatic data processing.
